This Classic Really Is A Classic

Assuming Sherrifs doesn\'t weasle out at the last minute and run like a coward and hide with Zenyatta this race is a really good one.

She adds a lot spice and class to a LOADED field.

With Turf Classic right before it being a little light take your advice from that old Sage Bluto in Animal House,

\"My advice to you is to spread heavily\"

totally agree Silver.

I also have to say that any animal house reference will always get me on this board.

That was the only thing that made me laugh after my debacle of a Kentucky Derby this year.

While I totally agree that the race is very deep, I am going to be keying Einstein.

He\'s fast, rested, likes the track and the distance, looks tremendous right now and he will be 10-1 or so.

There\'s lots of them that can win this but that\'s gonna be my key at a decent price.

Not touting Rip Van Winkle here now, but I do find it interesting after testing Sea of Stars a few times (and only losing by a length once) they freshened got one prep and skipped the Arc, I assume pointing for this.

Coolmore I believe stands his stallion Galileo who also tried the Classic but when it was dirt.

The company Rip Van Winkle and Mastercraftsman have kept is extremley impressive.

The both have huge shots in their respective races but I am afraid won\'t offer too much value.

I will be including them in the multi race exoctis in their respective races but trying to beat them on top given what I believe will be very low odds on almost all of the European horses.

It\'s clear the Euros are going to do very well in this BC again but I think the key to having a big deal is to find the few races where they will go off as heavy favs and we can get one of the Americans home.  I actually think the Classic might be one of those cases with Einstein but I very much fear Rip.

Gonna be a fun week.
